Could the W.I.T.C.H. from the first comic saga have been able to surpass the first season of Winx?

I’m thinking about starting a collection of opinions here on how the W.I.T.C.H. would have performed in the events of different worlds, whether from Magical Girl series or other animated franchises with a similar youthful style (you can suggest ideas for future ones, and if I see several, I might put them to a vote).

In this case, I thought it would be interesting to compare the first version of the Guardians with the events of the first season of Winx Club. The idea isn’t to say they’re superior to other Magical Girls, but to see whether they would have the necessary qualities to face those threats.

Let’s suppose the Winx decide to stop skipping classes at Alfea and pass the baton to the W.I.T.C.H.

  • Would they have been able to defeat the Trix?
  • Would they have been out of their league once the Trix gain the Dragon Flame?
  • Would it be necessary to include Elyon from the first saga to help?
  • Or would they have to leave the job to the Winx?

I’ll leave a poll so you can decide. And feel free to share your opinions and suggestions. Later on, I’ll make a post showing the results based on general opinions and my own.

ORUBE in the MARVEL comic "Uncanny Inhumans Vol.11"

Orube, our favorite Basiliade girl and the number one enemy of security staff in every shopping mall, had her cameo in the MARVEL comic Uncanny Inhumans Vol. 11, appearing as the avatar of Iron Man/Tony Stark’s AI, Friday.

This happened because the artist, Carlos Pacheco, wanted to give a gift to his girlfriend, who was a “letal fan” of W.I.T.C.H. and liked the character Orube. Orube’s character designer, Daniela Vetro, was very happy to hear about it. This cameo was also possible because Disney already owned MARVEL at the time.

This fact also appears in a post by the creator of this subreddit, Wintersneeuw02.

Now, in terms of the MARVEL comic’s story… does that mean Tony Stark is a W.I.T.C.H. fan? Or did Friday, the AI, fall in love with Orube’s design?

The girls’ powers in the comics vs. in the animated series:

Which version did you like more in how W.I.T.C.H.'s powers were handled?
Did you prefer the idea of the Guardians starting out with a wide range of magical abilities in addition to their main elements, as happens in the comics, making them feel like true mini witches?

Or do you prefer the animated series approach, where at first they were more limited to their main powers (besides all being able to fly) and gradually unlocked new abilities over the seasons, as happened in the second one?

I like both concepts, but I think the series approach had something quite interesting. The idea of tying the growth of their powers to their own personal maturity could have offered a lot of potential.

It also seems more practical to me from a narrative standpoint: it helps maintain more tension and forces better planning during conflicts, since the fights feel more balanced. It also prevents some abilities from being forgotten or underused over time.

But anyway, what do you all think?
